McCain’s Makeup Artist, HD Isn’t Easy, Baby!

John McCain, whose ads skewer Barack Obama for his “celebrity” status, has his own close ties to show business, the new issue of Us Weekly reports exclusively.

The 72-year-old was recently made TV-ready by makeup artist Tifanie White who’s worked on So You Think You Can Dance and American Idol.

My take, you ask? Well, it seems like McCain got a super deal, especially if the MUA has to travel with him and take the worry off his face on location – I think I would charge closer to 8k to do that very same project. Just My input, of course, and probably why she got the gig and I didn’t.
